11.01.2022 This weekend we kicked off the Harvey River Festival, a series of events to celebrate this iconic waterway in Western Australia. Funded by Lotterywest, the festival features three events to inspire stronger connections to the river. On Sunday, local residents enjoyed the Harvey River Fair with art activities, music, food stalls and kayaking. A Welcome to Country was delivered by the Binjareb Middars, a chance to think of the importance of the river to the individual, and an ...opportunity to reflect and share stories.

The Aboriginal community of Tambellup own a farm on the northern edge of the central zone of the Gondwana Link. To restore habitat and heal country we're working with the Tambellup Rangers o...n a seedling planting program on their land.

02.01.2022 From the mountains to the deserts, the forests to the sea, many, many people are doing fantastic work to protect and restore Australia’s natural diversity but this work is getting more complicated. As the climate changes, our favourite natural areas and the species they contain will also change. But by working together and focusing on what we can do, rather than what we can’t, Australians can protect their incredible natural assets for future generations to enjoy.
